Before you begin, check with your state manager or regional coordinator. If you do this right, you will preserve all the [[User:Voludu2/Traffic_data|traffic information waze uses for routing]] and all the house numbers.  If you do it wrong, you will erase the traffic data permanently and have to create all the addresses by hand. Follow these instructions carefully and in the correct order.;Step One: Decide how much of the road needs to be divided, and how much you can do in one session. It would be disastrous to have the road partially disconnected at the moment waze [http://status.waze.com/ uploaded data to the routing servers]. Plan ahead, in case your editing session gets interrupted.  Don't try to do more than 4 or 5 intersections in one session.;Step Two:Make sure that you have the required editing level for EVERY segment you plan to divide -- and every segment connected to each of those. You may not be able to set turns properly if any of these are locked above your level. Ask for help getting everything unlocked before you begin.;Step Three:Scout for House Numbers. Select a segment of the existing road, Use the [[https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/House_number#Activating_the_interface|Edit House Numbers]] button (or ({{key press|Shift|H}}) to start the house numbers window. Use {{key press|Shift|I}} to turn the satellite layer on and off. <div style = "background: red;"> If there are any house numbers on both sides of the road, you will probably need to force them out of order while working -- and you will need to be a level 3 editor to do that. If you have house numbers on both sides of any of the segments you need to divide, get help from a level 3 or higher editor to do this step for you. ??? is this correct?</div>;Step Four:[[Create_road#Cut_a_segment_to_create_a_new_junction|Cut the segments of road to be divided]] to create a new junction in each one, but leave them attached. You can cut the segment wherever it will create the least work for moving addresses around in step six.;Step Five:Decide which halves of your freshly cut segments are going to represent which sides of the divided road. And don't separate them yet. Always leave as many segments as possible connected to as many of their original junctions as possible but if there are house numbers, don’t separate them yet. Because some of the historical speed data stored in segments relates directly to which directions Wazers have turned when leaving the segments, it is a good idea to leave as many segments as possible connected to their original junctions. If you use an alternating pattern, at least two segments can stay connected at each intersection.Step Six: Reposition the Stop Points of the House Numbers. Open the house number interface, select house numbers one at a time, and move their Stop Points to the appropriate halves of the segments you cut in the last step.The Stop Point for a house number is revealed on its associated segment only when you have selected that particular  house number. It’s represented by a white dot on the segment, and connected to the house number by a dotted line. This white dot is what you need to move to the appropriate section of the segment, not the house number itself, which can stay put on top of its building. When the road division is complete, these stop points will need to be relocated in their appropriate positions.

how to divide a road

These instructions have been designed to preserve traffic and address information, and transfer it from the original 2-way road to the divided 1-way roads. It is important NOT to create new segments for the divided road in order to use the information that is already there. Please follow these steps in order for each segment to divided. If there are house numbers on the segment to be divided, you will need to do things that can only be done by level 3 and higher editors.

otto's instructions

Before you begin, check with your state manager or regional coordinator. If you do this right, you will preserve all the traffic information waze uses for routing and all the house numbers. If you do it wrong, you will erase the traffic data permanently and have to create all the addresses by hand. Follow these instructions carefully and in the correct order.
